Postponed MPSC exam to be held on March 21

 

 

THE preliminary examination of the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC), which was earlier scheduled for coming Sunday, will now be held on March 21, the commission announced on Friday.

The MPSC had on Thursday once again postponed the exam, which is required for Government jobs, citing the COVID-19 situation. It led to protests by students all over the State.

“The exam will now be held on March 21 across the State at the same centres. The students who have received hall ticket will be considered eligible for the March 21 exam,” the commission said on Friday.

It also announced that other two examinations scheduled for March 27 and April 21 will be held as per the schedule and there was no change in dates.

The preliminary examination was to take place in April last year, but was repeatedly delayed due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

In Pune, Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar said that the MPSC failed “to handle the situation in my opinion”. But the issue was now over, the NCP leader added.
